Issue
Troubleshooting modbus TCP communication including scattered read function codes. The scattered holding register read function enables the user to avoid reading a large block of contiguous registers when only few registers are needed and avoid multiple use of functions 3 and 4 in order to read non-contiguous registers
Products
Schneider products that support modbus function code 100 (0x64).
Cause
Function code 100 is not a standard function code so any tools to assist troubleshooting communications will not be able to decode the Modbus request. A scattered read allows reading n non-contiguous registers, where n is between 2 and 100 registers.
Resolution
The data fields inside a modbus TCP client request packet that include a function code 100 are outlined below. The example will request register 29879 (0x74B7) and register 29893 (0x74C5) from modbus device with address 47 (0x2F).

| Field name | Example |
|---|---|
| Modbus Device Address | 0x2F |
| Function code | 0x64 |
| Data length in bytes | 0x06 |
| Subfunction code | 0x04 |
| Transmission number(*) | 0xXX |
| First register to read (MSB) | 0x74 |
| First register to read (LSB) | 0xB7 |
| Second register to read (MSB) | 0x74 |
| Second register to read (LSB) | 0xC5 |
| nth register to read (MSB) | N/A |
| nth register to read (LSB) | N/A |
| CRC (MSB) | 0xXX |
| CRC (LSB) | 0xXX |
* note Modbus client will create transmission number, modbus server returns the same number in the reply
